Critic Reviews
-
Kristin Tillotson, Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's more of a nouvelle-cuisine starter course than a square meal.
-
Eve Zibart, Washington Post
The oddest thing about this sweet but not entirely satisfying documentary is how little food is involved.
-
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
This lively, absorbing documentary about best friends who open a tiny cafe in the heart of Brooklyn is full of such mouth-watering shots of cooking and eating that a jumbo-sized popcorn and pallid soda simply won't do.
-
Dotty Griffith, Dallas Morning News
Serves a full course meal in Restaurant 101.
-
Janice Page, Boston Globe
So, how's the food? The camera never even goes up close. That's the kind of restaurant documentary this is.
